CURRENT MISSION

Seeking out new friends and experiences to share with those friends as I travel the United States

ABOUT ME

I am easy going and down to earth. I love to have fun and always have a smile on my face. I'm living with my fiancee Danielle who accompanies me pretty much wherever I go. She is a RN who works in Cardiac Care fixing broken hearts.

PHILOSOPHY

Love is Love, plain and simple. You're going to get what you give in this life, so be a ray of sunshine. If you can make one person happy, you've helped to change the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Through CouchSurfing I hope to make friendships with people from different areas that I travel to by exchanging experiences, food, and wisdom.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I haven't had any CouchSurfing experiences but that is not stopping me from being excited to share with others.

Interests

My main interests in life are technology, music, and food. I am a huge computer / video game geek. I dabble in the language of computer programming and hardware. Yes I WILL fix your computer!

Music is the key to happiness for me. I am into all sorts of music genres from rock to blues to bluegrass to progressive to techno and everything in between. I love to listen to music, experience new music, and being a part of the creative music process by making music with others. I play guitar mainly, but have been known to play around with the keys and I can lay down a slick trance on the didgeridoo.

Food is the ultimate way I like to explore. I love to cook for people and I love for people to cook for me. I am not afraid to try anything when it comes to food. I am a big fan of Anthony Bourdain, I want his job!! Traveling the world experience cultures through the foods and cuisines, now that is living!

Backpacking, Hiking, Laying on the Beach in the summer and snowboarding in the winter, exploring the woods and enjoying the trees, all is very nice to me! I love to stargaze and am always looking for people to share the experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think that the most amazing thing I've done in my lifetime is what I am doing with my life now. My fiancee is working for a travel nurse company, and what it means is that she will get work assignments from various locations for 13 weeks at a time. We'll be traveling around the U.S. over the next couple of years checking out what there is to offer. It's been sad leaving our friends back home in Mass., but we are looking forward to meeting new people to make this grand adventure all the better.
